Accreditation

Nevada State College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission
on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment
of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college
or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated
purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and
gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Institutional integrity is also addressed through Accreditation.

Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial
but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every
course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides
reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who
attend the institution. The criteria for NWCCU Accreditation can be found here.

Inquiries regarding an institution's accredited status by the Northwest Commission
on Colleges and Universities should be directed to the administrative staff of the
institution. Individuals may also contact:
